Main - Dry Stone Feed

Review by Robert Lockard

Main's album Dry Stone Feed is a masterclass in experimental post-rock. The album opens with the track "Firmament," which sets the tone for what's to come with its driving rhythm and distorted guitars. The second track, "Dry Stone Feed," is a standout with its haunting vocal samples and atmospheric soundscapes.

Throughout the album, Main showcases their ability to seamlessly blend different genres and sounds. "Spectral," for example, features a pulsing electronic beat that gradually builds to a crescendo, while "Haloform" is a slow-burning, atmospheric piece that builds to a chaotic climax.

One of the album's highlights is "Corona," which features guest vocals from Robert Hampson of Loop. His haunting vocals perfectly complement the track's sparse instrumentation and atmospheric soundscapes.

About Main

Main (1991-1998) was formed by Robert Hampson and Scott Dawson in 1990. Both members had come from the band Loop (1985-1990). The initial imperative was to deconstruct the "iconic" form of guitars and place them in a different context and change their language. Surrounded by other sounds from field and close / contact mic recordings of found objects, these were then manipulated until the identifiable became unidentifiable. After recording the first two EPs and , of joined as a third member for , and until leaving in 1993. Gradually, since the departure of Dawson in 1996, the use of the guitar has appeared less and the field recordings have become much more the source of the Main sound.
